Exactly. PS3 has lost just about all of their exclusives (Exclusives MADE the PS2.) except for MGS and I think GOW.'Tis just not enough to carry a whole system.
Gran Turismo is their biggest exclusive remaining, I think, and one they will milk well.
Buit that said, Nintendo still have Mario waiting for the Wii. Good marketing on that will give the Wii a massive second wind, and it;s first wind has done better than many thought- and seeing the pauucity of games right mnow, perhaps better than it deserves. But I suspect Nintendo is reaping the deserved benefits of a cheap product in an environment which is not very competitive right now, with Sony in a down patch.
So close. Sony have handed in their financial results for the year ending March 31. You may remember, they launched the PS3 during that time, and even though it's cost them a ****ton of cash, it's not doing so well. Think that's affected their bottom line? You bet it has.
While last year Sony Corp as a whole raked in 226.42 billion yen (USD$1.88 billion) in operating profits, this year, they could only scrape together 71.8 billion (USD$596 million). That's a drop-off of USD$1.28 billion dollars. Think that was because of the PS3? You bet it was.
The games biz lost a staggering $1.9 billion, so anyone who took a guess at that $2 billion loss, go get yourself a gold star.

PS3 and 360 pwn the wii up the ass, in regards to console potential and not "which is selling more".
I don't see how a console that's 80 % blu ray player (according to their own sales arguments) can be pwning anything. Wait, that's 'cause it's not. So far it has:
1. Sold 3 million and it got out sold by a dead hand held, the GBA. Dare I say "Owned"?
2. Very few games, the only game I find new and really fun to play is Motorstorm.
3. Crappy online capabilities and so what if you have to pay for Xbox live GOLD? Even the cheapest guy ever would find that Silver is still a whole lot better a lot less awkward.
Maybe you've guessed it but I recently bought a PS3 (sold my left kidney 😆 ) with Motorstorm and I have to say, the only thing that didn't disappoint me was Motorstorm and the battery time on the six axis.
